How much would you expect to pay?

How much would you expect to pay, if you went into a shop and had them bend an exhaust pipe (that you supply) and replace your old piping with it as well as a new muffler (that you also supply)?

I'm gonna get the exhaust done within the next week and would just like some ballpark estimates, I don't want this shop trying to rip me off...

What all ate you getting replaced besides the muffler? Are you replacing the pipe from the cat back or what?

i had everything headers back
but only wanted the catback on. and they wanted 75 just to unbolt a pipe and replace it.

but if you dont have the pipes, they will charge you for the pipe, welds, and time

i'm replacing the pipe from the muffler (including the muffler) to the back. I'm supplying both pipe and muffler. I just need the pipe bent and welded on with the muffler..

 

[02Steve15]

I'll probably stop by the shop tomorrow to get a price quote..

It shouldn't be more than $50 ... some shops charge like $10 a weld...

Steve, what muffler are you going with?

 

[02Steve15]

when i first asked them..they wanted 220 for bending one of their own pipes and welding it on with my muffler lol..thats why i got my own pipe

muffler is a borla turbo muffler and a cutout will be going on as well, so i can be either loud or quiet

 

[02Steve15]

how long would it even take to bend a pipe?

 

[adamwilkes14]

It only takes a few minutes per bend with a mandrel bender...if they are trying to pinch bend it dont let them do it...water gets trapped in the pinch pockets and will start to cause rust...

 

[02Steve15]

good to know, thank you

 

[adamwilkes14]

Not a prob man...

 

[txbass06]

$220 for a couple of welds and bending a pipe is ridiculous... I wouldn't think any more that $60-$75 tops

When I was first shopping around for my exhaust, I was quoted $200 for a whole exhaust with the installer supplying everything...granted it wasnt a magnaflow though...but was a single in/dual out ran out both rear bed corners and angled at 45 degrees with stainless tips.

I think their labor fee is something like 80 bucks an hour..but this shouldn't even take an hour if it's first thing in the morning when there is no one there..

 

[02Steve15]

the guy said 140 plus tax. i asked him what their labor rate was and he said 94.50 so he basically said it's gonna take an hour and a half to do this lol. i told him that was a lot and he kind of just shrugged, so i think i need to call other places, the problem is, there anren't many..

 

[02Steve15]

no one bends piping...wtf

 

[adamwilkes14]

Around here $80 and hour labor is dealer style pricing.

i called monroe muffler and they scheduled me to come in on wed. the 18th at 8am..they said they will beat what the other guy quoted me but idk by how much that will be. plus, i don't want to find out that i'm not gonna go through with it when the time comes because i really wanted to have this stuff done by next wednesday

Prices vary greatly by area. I went to and/or called about 20 shops with 50 mile of me when I got my Magnaflow Y installed. It ended up costing me $160 to get it installed. I have read many people on the forums getting the Y installed for less than $50.
